Knit a cell phone case to hang from your belt or strap of your purse. The case is knit flat from the top down using a provisional cast on. When the strip is long enough to be folded in half to fit over a belt with a little to spare, it is joined into a belt loop. Then cast on stitches to work the pouch flat (or in the round), three needle bind off the bottom seam and sew the side seam. Felt the case to make it thicker and durable. I used a size 8 knitting needle with about 40 yards of 100% wool (not superwash!) and felted the case to fit my husband’s iPhone 4. It’s easy to change the size to fit whatever phone you have. The 3 page pattern has written instructions and some photos to help along the way.
